I guess we can. Like I just said though - I do have a plan to make nla_parse() work but the week's been exhausting enough that I don't feel entirely comfortable saying that will definitely work. OTOH, arguably this is something that seems to work - as evidenced by the nl80211 changes - for at least some error reporting, so I guess we can continue to refine it, and the only thing we're really locking in to is the ABI, which is TLVs now, so that should be safe. That said, the nl80211 patch really should be bigger, and I've not even tested this at all yet, so I really need to do that first. Also, I'd like to point to the genl_info change, does that seem like a reasonable way to pass it around in genetlink? I'm much less familiar with the "regular" netlink to say how to pass it around there beyond what I already did. johannes
